Cincy Chic is an online lifestyle magazine for women in the Greater Cincinnati area that shares information on topics such as fashion, health, beauty, social and career.

And… (drum roll!)  Cincy Chic recently did an article featuring several local blogs in which I had the pleasure of being one of them.  Check out the article!

Too Sexy for Work?

Anyone who has read this blog for more than 2 minutes will know that I love shoes.  I’m a shoe lover of all shapes and sizes, colors and fabrics – yes, you could pretty much say I’m a shoe slut. 

For all my love of shoes, I have quite a few that don’t get regular wear.  It’s not because I don’t adore them, but I just figure they’re a bit impractical or just too sexy for everyday wear.

That said, when did pretty shoes become unprofessional work wear?  At the end of the day my body is covered and I’m still wearing professional attire, so why should a fabulous high heel shoe be deemed inappropriate?

What do you think?  Vote and let me know if you think a few of my shoes should come out of hiding!

Wild Inspiration

1

A few weekends ago, the man and I took a trip to the Cincinnati Zoo.  I always notice what a great link to fashion there is in just about anything, so I thought I’d show you a glimpse into a few of my inspirations…

An elephant may not seem to many an obvious fashionista inspiration, but gray is all the rage this season and I love some womanly curves!

Flowers are an easy inspiration for any kind of ruffles, detailing, or interesting color combinations.

SJP, Queen of all fashionistas, may have looked to a beautiful lioness for her bold fur choice.  Grrr!

I’m not sure what exactly inspired our fashion on this trip, but we were definitely feeling stripes and color!
